Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

What's the answer? Don't open your mouth until you have something to show worth showing. That's almost always the answer.

If a company starts the hype train rolling, the audience is naturally going to expect to see results. You don't blame the audience for that, you blame the company that started the hype.

Once you've started the hype train rolling waaaay too early (which is clearly the case here) then you say "our bad, this shit is a long way out. You're going to have to wait" and you deal with the fallout from that. What you DON'T do is show off shitty, amateur-looking work and then when people complain say "Hey guys, none of this counts anyway, don't worry."

Basically, the answer is take what VR has done so far, and do the exact opposite.

This answer is about as correct as they come. All of the expectations of this project started from Brad misleading people. The kickstarter wasn't even for the game persay it was for him to start his company and hire staff before there was any game, hence why I called it a fraud and scam to begin with. Then even from the kickstarter and their own home pages to this day Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - Get Involved are trying to peddle fake bullshit items before they have even gotten anywhere close to an item design stage. Now pre-orders are one thing but the dishonestly comes from the deception at all times Brad and Co. are pretending to be much more developed and further along than they actually are.

Why do they do this?

To garner attention and money, while this works to a degree in the short term in the longer term it destroys any possible goodwill or faith people might have in this project. Never once have they humbled themselves and apologized about deceiving their own fans and supports instead at every turn they double down on the bullshit and ask you to take a big steaming bite while calling it ice cream.

This leaves them open to more skepticism and scrutiny as it should. Never once they have under promised and over delivered they have always gone the other route and offered the world if you would just believe and give them money and in return they repeatedly deliver generic sub par and low quality work in every aspect, lore, art, community outreach, feedback, you name it. Of course we take it and exaggerate it some but everything said by a majority of the people here on the board is based about facts and past experiences. The people who try and hype this game are either willfully ignorant and want to live with their cognitive dissonance or they suffer from battered wife syndrome and irrationally thinks that Brad and Co. can do no wrong or that somehow it will be different this time.

Sure it's possible Brad can prove us wrong and makes the best MMORPG ever seen and those of us bashing it will end up with egg on our faces and your sweet prince will ride off into the sunset on his dirt bike pumping his fist in the air. However, the odds are certainty not in his favor. So if you are still in pro pantheon mode hunker down and take a bite because this is clearly chocolate and not one big steaming pile of shit.

Amazing how one Tyen post can change the whole direction of the hivemind. I didn't know he was the hive queen. Seems etchazz still needs another nudge though.
